I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

We went round this buoy many times and in 1990 Lady Lucinda Buck's lover decreed that we went to QNH. At great expense, and contrary to all advice at the time, we went to QNH. After the Daily Mirror expose the first thing that was done was to revert at great expense to QFE.

The RAF does use QNH at many airfields such as Kandahar and Nairobi.
